We do this for two main reasons:
1) Documenting the mines for future generations.
2) Collecting artifacts for our museum.

Mines are being filled in, demolished, and/or collapsing at an alarming rate, so it is crucial to document them and save these artifacts while it is still possible.

Join us for our weekly adventures as we go deep underground into historic abandoned hard rock Gold, Silver and Copper mines. We relive the Prospecting, Gold Rush days, going back in history with every expedition. Visiting abandoned and forgotten places, climbing down mine shafts into dangerous mines, finding treasures, seeing antique heavy equipment such as ore carts, crushers, milling machines, ball mills, explosives and other mining equipment.
This isnt Minecraft but the real deal!

We have a huge assortment of mining artifacts accumulated from abandoned mines, donations, and other collections. We also have operating mining equipment on display.

I broke ALL my GOLD records at once in this river!


What a CRAZY trip to my DREAM claim. Spent two days with Pioneer Pauly and a few other friends gold panning and metal detecting my retirement claim and in a two hour time frame I broke every gold record I have ever set. Most gold, biggest piece detected, biggest gold ever found, best looking nugget, most WOOHOOs! I could not believe what I found. And day two the excitement turned to anger. Have a watch to check out the CRAZY adventure.

— Episode Synopsis:

This episode covers Theas best finds of the week, this is the first week after returning to the Rivers where natural water springs are abundant and clean.

Unlike near the volcanic crater, this area isnt much of a hassle to mine, only constant problem we keep on encountering is the flash floods.

Sometimes, it doesnt even rain in our area but a flash flood would suddenly ravish loads of water and boulders. This might be because of the almost constant rains in the higher surrounding mountains.

When this occurs, it is very dangerous to stay near the river, this also makes the rivers unexplorable for a day or two.

This week though, we got lucky with only few light rains here and there.

But the best thing this week, or probably ever on this island, is Theas record-breaking finds on this episode.

It seems like the women in the team are highly favored by the river.

— Some facts about us and the island:

Based on local folklore, the island is pretty much just a big active volcano that last erupted some 370 years ago. This is a fact and verified based on historical records.

But what remains a folklore is the story that the volcano slew some molten gold on its main outlet, together with what they called, the hardglass, which is believed to be diamonds by the prospectors.

This same story is known throughout the island and possibly the whole country. but very few believe this, and the government seems to be hiding this to harvest the gold ores after they get rid of the rebels.

Подъем Т 34 76 Смелый 45минут оч громкий


Описание По просьбам зрителей я залил этот фильм повторно, так как были жалобы на очень тихий звук. Теперь звук на максимуме. Лично мне больше нравится первый — тихий вариант. Есть правда еще один вариант — исходный фильм, без музыки, титров и комментариев, но его длина превышает два часа сорок минут. Просмотр такого длинного фильма утомителен.

Mine Shaft Full Of Historical Treasures - Part 2 (Dont Miss This)


When we explored our way down to the bottom of this abandoned mine shaft, we were pretty impressed by all that we discovered… We have the fact that this mine is in a remote location, the fact that it is a shaft (which fewer individuals are willing to venture into) and the fact that this is a dry, desert mine to thank for the remarkable number of historical mining artifacts down in the mine, but even taking all of that into account, this was still pretty extraordinary. I can only think of a handful of other mines that are preserved as well and have not been picked over by thieves and scrappers (or destroyed by the AML crews).

So many interesting things down in this one that it is hard to know where to start… The lantern? The huge number of dynamite boxes from different manufacturers? The drift that looped around back to where we started? The loaded flatcar? The large headframe underground? Perhaps needless to say, this mine has shot its way up into the Top 10 of my “Favorite Abandoned Mines” list.

I would be curious to know what was down that large winze served by the headframe. It was hard enough getting down the main shaft, but dropping down there as well would be another level of difficulty. Regrettably, our ropes on this trip were not up to the task.

This was not a recent explore for us and we have been advised by a subsequent mine explorer that the shaft has now caved and is no longer accessible. While unfortunate, that being the case, I am glad we visited and documented this mine when we did.

Growing up in California’s “Gold Rush Country” made it easy to take all of the history around us for granted. However, abandoned mine sites have a lot working against them – nature, vandals, scrappers and various government agencies… The old prospectors and miners that used to roam our lonely mountains and toil away deep underground are disappearing quickly as well.

These losses finally caught our attention and we felt compelled to make an effort to document as many of the ghost towns and abandoned mines that we could before that colorful niche of our history is gone forever. But, you know what? We enjoy doing it! This is exploring history firsthand – bushwhacking down steep canyons and over rough mountains, figuring out the techniques the miners used and the equipment they worked with, seeing the innovations they came up with, discovering lost mines that no one has been in for a century, wandering through ghost towns where the only sound is the wind… These journeys allow a feeling of connection to a time when the world was a very different place. And I’d love to think that in some small way we are paying tribute to those hardy miners that worked these mines before we were even born.

So, yes, in short, we are adit addicts… I hope you’ll join us on these adventures!
